A woman has claimed that her natural beauty is what makes other mums not want to approach her, saying that she believes they’re ‘jealous’ of her ‘good looks’ and ‘figure’
There’s so much pressure on people to look a certain way, and it can often feel impossible to not compare ourselves to people with fillers – but one woman is ignoring societal standards and says women are jealous of her because of it.
Amee Gleadell, 35, claims that other mums shame her for her natural “good looks” and “figure”, outing them as “jealous” because she doesn’t need “lip filler” to look nice. She said that she’s always taken pride in her appearance, and always enjoys picking out nice outfits and jewellery every day. But despite this effort, she claims that other mums judge her at baby groups she attends with her 15-month-old, saying that they’re not friendly to her.
Amee said that the women are just “jealous” of her, and that’s why they’re frosty, and she wants people to stop judging others for the way that they look.
Amee, a caterer, from Lincoln, East Midlands, said: “I look after myself. I’m very natural with it. I don’t wear much make-up. I’m a natural mum. I have a good figure. I wear dresses and sandals. It makes me feel better. Mums judge you at baby classes. I get looked at – I think it is jealousy. People are judging me because I haven’t got my lip fillers in or had my hair all done.”
After giving birth to Arthane, Amee felt it was important to be in good shape for her son, as she wanted to be able to “chase him round the park”, not wanting to be one of the mums watching on, sitting “with their coffee and cake”.
Instead, she goes to the gym regularly, goes swimming with Arthane, and does yoga each morning to keep fit. “I eat really well”, she said, also saying that having “glittery toes” makes her “feel better” and “happy” with herself. Amee also says she won’t leave the house in scruffy clothes like “trackies”, and she thinks that’s another reason other mums don’t approach her.
“I don’t know why people don’t want to look good or why they can’t be bothered”, she said. She also said “You don’t know what is going on in other people’s lives”, and that people should be “helping each other”.
Amee also said that she feels judged when she breastfeeds her son in public, and at work. She cooks food while her son sits on her hip at work, and she says that men “stare” and other mums “judge”. “Other people are like ‘she is breastfeeding and cooking’ and judging me for that”, she said, fuming that it’s something “natural”, so she “shouldn’t have to cover up”.
Amee said her husband, Stephen Cefai, 28, a cartoonist, has always loved her “bubbly” personality, and she said she’s “enjoying” herself and wants “to live forever” being “an amazing mum and partner”.
